learning the lesson.
basking in His presence does something.
it brings a keen awareness of the here and now.
this very moment, not on whats planned next or whats coming up on the to-do list.
something so difficult to do these days.
ahhh.
after a good workout session.
a not-so-delayed gratification.
just because a person prefers the conventional doesnt mean he's rigid, stifled or unexposed.
the word 'prefers' suggests the exertion of choice: he's been to the other side and back.
the former, decidedly less appealing and to some extent, pointless.
what do you so fear.
that your eyes, like glass, give away those secrets like candy on halloween.
that your smile, well-furnished, shows how hard you're trying, if only for the benefit of everyone.
on days like these, or not.
what you really are is solemn, melancholic, thoughtful.
main lesson taken away from evolutionary psych.
selfishness can be understood, and overcome.
but it does not elucidate how.
You walked with me, footprints in the sand
and helped me understand where i'm going
You walked with me when i was all alone
you give me strength to carry on.
